Spiderweb Software, Inc. announced
today the release of Avernum 6 for Windows, the final game in the epic,
award-winning Avernum series. Avernum 6 is set in the world of Avernum, an
enormous series of caves far below the surface of the world. Travel into the
strange subterranean land of Avernum, full of dungeons, labyrinths, and constant
warfare.

Avernum is a world underground. It
is a nation of people living in an enormous warren of tunnels and caverns, far
below the surface of the world. Once a prison colony for rebels and thugs, it is
now a wild frontier, full of adventurous souls looking for wealth, fame, and
magical power.

And then the Blight came. Almost
overnight, the mushrooms Avernum needed to feed itself withered and died. Then
the denizens of the low tunnels, the savage, reptilian Slithzerikai, emerged.
Sensing weakness, they struck, destroying much of a weakened Avernum and
creating waves of hungry, desperate refugees.

This final set of disasters
threatens to destroy your homeland in a spasm of famine and warfare. Only you
can help your people to get to safety before everything falls apart.

Avernum 6 is the final game in the
popular and long-running Avernum series. Explore a gigantic world, with a
fascinating storyline, hundreds of quests, multitudes of side dungeons, and many
hours of adventure. The game features clever enemies and dozens of interesting
scripted encounters. Learn over 50 spells and battle disciplines. Hunt for
hundreds of magical items or craft your own powerful artifacts.
